The woundswere too fresh tben on both sides. Weknow that the war is euded now, aad Ithlnk the beglnuing of the end datedabout twenty years ago. The beginnlng of tbe end eame In a letter whichAdjutant General R. C. Drum on April30. 1S87. addressod to Hon. W. C. Endieott. secretary of war ia PresidentCleveland's eablnet. Tbe letter wentthus:Blr?I have the honor to state that thereare now in this office. atored In one of theattlc rooms of the building. a number ofUnion flairs captured In action. but recov?red on the fall of the Confederacy andforwardod to tlie war department for safekeeping. together with a number of Con?federate aVfeaTB. which tho fortunes of warplaced ln our hunds during tho late clvilwar. While In the past favorable action hasulwuvs Wn taken on applications. proper.ly supported. for the return of the Unionflags to organlxatlons rcpresentlng aurvlvora of the military s? rvlee of tlie government. I beg to suhmit that It would be agrareful act to antlclpate future re<iueataof thia nature and venture to suggeat theproprlety of returnlng all the flags (Unionand Confederate) to the authoritiea of thereapectlve statee In which the regimentswhich love those colora were organtzed.While ln all civhlxed nations of the oldworld trophlva taken ln wara against for?eign enemies have been carefully preserved and exhll.lt. d as proud memejitos ofthe nalion'f military g'orrea. wia*? and obvioua r. hsoiik have always excopted fromthe rule evidencea of past Intermvlnetroublea which. by appeala to the arbltration of the aword. have dlsturbed thepwaceful march of a people to Its destlny.Over twenty years have elapsed slnce thetermlnation of the late eivll war. Manyof the prominent Ieaders. clvil and mili?tary, are now honored representatlvea ofthe people in the national councll or luother eminent poaitiona and lend the atdof their talents to tho wlsc adminlstratlonof tho affalra of the whole country. nndthe people of the several atates composing the Union are now united. treadlngthe broader road to 'a glorious future.Very truly yours. R. C. DRUM.Adjutant Uencral.But were the people In 1887 united?No soonvr did President Cleveland allow Secretary Kudlcott to approve thepuggeetlon of his adjutant general thana great howl of deuunciatlon arose.By one of the leadlug newspapers ofMlnnesota, Uleveland was assailodwith opprobrious cplthets. The nawspapers east and west excoriated him.Over tbe public haiupiet tables Gen?eral B. F. Butler. <;eneral Luelus Falrclilld. commauder in ehlef of the GrandArray of tlie ltepubllc; Murat Halsteadiind others hurlcd tholr vltui>cratlon.The then governor of Ohlo wrote a let?ter, whieh Senator John Khermau indorsed. ln whieh he cuiplmtically retiise.l to surrcmler the tlngs. say Ing.'No rebel flags shall l>e returned whileI am governor." QssBBfSl Fntrchlldaald: "May God palsy the hand thatwrote the order. May C^hI palsy thebialn that coneeived it. nnd may Godpalsy the tongue that dletated lt." Sooveiwhehnlng was the public Mtteruess at the thought of glvlng baek thecaptured flags that tho president hadto rcsclud the order to dellver up tothe southern states their rtags on thoground that the tlajrs were the proper?ty of the United States. and thercforellie United States alone BSd the rightto retum them.Beginning of the End.i?h, the aoctlonal bitterness whichwas ruukliug lu the htuuau heartsnorth und south In 1HS7! But lu splteof that faet that letter of U. C. Drum'sproved to ?>e the lieginnlng of the end.Itapldly and surely the last llres ofscctionnl strlfe died away. lu 181)8 thevery men who had inost vehementlyoppoaed the roturulug of tlie tonfederate flags were most anxious to see MaJor MeKlnley do what President Olevelund had falled to aecoinpllsb. On Feb.?4, 1898, eougress passed the bill autborlxlug the wnr department to returuall the Confederate flags captured inbattle. Goveruor Foraker, who hadfought the inovement before, was thensenator, aud he was tho most euthusiastlc advocate of the bill. Yes, yes, atlast the eivll war was ended. At lastby the voluntary returu of the bloodeoaked bsttftsftsgs the United Stateseougress doclared there was no north,no south, no east, no west. uo conquerors and no vaiKpilahed. Tbe Confeder?ate battleflags were givon buck to themen whose eoinrades had baptizedthem with their llfes blood.Why did the north retum those oldbattletlags of the southern annyVFlrat, the northeinors realized that the?outherners were honest nien aud hadl>een honest ln their advoeaey of theattate rights priuelple all through thewar. The northerners realized that thesame fldellty to priuelple whieh madeMassaehusetts aud Illinols aud Wlsconslu and Ualifomla flght for the eentiallzatlon of Koverument drove Georgla aml Alal.ania and. South Carolinato flght for state rights. These men,bora below the Mason and LHxon line.were not dlshonest or mercenary. Theywere flghtlug for n prlnelple, becausetbey believed the priuelple was just.And for that prlnelple they were readyto suertflce their lives.The Work of Yeara.But eonie years had to paas beforethe boys ln blue and the boys ln grayenuld meet and fellowship together andreeognlze each other's honesty. It lsulmost Inipossible for a luan who isfighting to l>elieve that his opponcnt,whose doubirtl tist is pummeling andbeatlng him, has an honest beart or astraight hair in his head. But afterthe battle is over. aiu-r time bas cooledthe blood, after our mlversary mayhave been laid away ln his silent grave,then we are able to look at our i>S8tuetions au<l those of our eueuiies asthrough another's eyes.

Tbe aontbern leaders loyally undgraeefully accepted tlu* de.-islon of tbesword aud resnrded lt as decided forever. They were willing to contossthat uudcr no conditions would theyever attempt to get their slnves backagnin. These great faets were tbemlghty means of wekling the hearts ofthe Amcri.Tin people together evenMN strongly than they were unitedl>efore.Now. let us impartlally eonslder theslave question. which waa indirectlyUie eause of that eivil war. Way backln the titue of Thoinas Jefferson tbeSage of Mouticclio ndvoeated thecmuncipation of the ncgro slave. But.though Thomns Jefferaon whs ln manyways the strongost statesman the southever prodnced. all the plniitors rose upIn artns. 'Absurd! Absurd!" theyeried. "You freo the slaves and theeotton plautations Avill 1m? ruiiu*d. W?must have tlie slaves or die." Thiswas the stand of the south. Most ofthe southeruers dcprccated the holdingof slaves. hut they did not see bowthe plautations could be eultlvatodwithout them. Y.'t no sooner werethe slnves etnnncipated than tbe plnnters ruhhcd their eyes and awoke totlu* fa?t that the plautations were bet?ter off with Mmd lahor than whencultlvnted hy slav?*s. They eotild makemore iiionoy out of their cotton cropsby hiriiur liehl hnnds than by owningthem. The result wns that. whoroasbefore the war nlnety-nino southernmen out of a hundred wante<l slaveryto exlst. today, If put to the southernvoto. ninety-nlne men out of a hundredwould tvfuso to take back their slaveseven If they could. This Is n so< lologh-nl faet of tbe southern lnbor problemwith which every ititolli?r?Mit Americanitlldeut is well ronverannt.A Dead Isaue.Scomd fa< t: When tlu* god of battlesdecided tbe clvil strifc the southeruersalnn*si to a man were ready t?? ucceptthat de<-|vj,,ti.

A jjrent armyof statesmen had entered WashiiiKtoufrom our southern states. Nearly allof these men had worn the Confo?h*ratemay or be.-u prominent in Richmond.There were Alexaudor Stei>lieus andLainur aud Harris and Gordon audPujfb and Mor?an and W?da llamprbnand Zebulon Yauee and F. M. Cock?rell and M. C. Butler and Berry anda great mimber of othera too numerous to mention. My, what a 11st therewns! \Yhen we read their names itseems aa though we hear the buglecall and the rattling of arms and tbeyelling of Ihe ca valry char*?e. When welook into tbe United States senate ofthirty years ago it seems as though therteld offleers of a great Confederatearmy had lieen eolle.te<rfor a councilot war. But, though those southernstatesmen assembled iu Washington,they were not assemhlexl for a councilof war, but for a council of peaee.Those ox-<\>nfederate soldiers werepianning and contriving for The prosperlty of tbe whole Unite.1 States andnot for a part. They were workinghand and glove with their northerncolleagues for the success of our reunlted land. And, though tbe north,as a whole. in the early seve\dies didnot have < onildeme In the loyalty oftbe new south. the northern statesmenIn WashluKton who came ln toucbwlththose southern statesmen lenrned totrust the south.When such true leaders as CharlesSnmner. from Massacbnsetts, and I.uclus Laanr, from lalaaUatppi, andhundreds nnd thousnnds of men like themcould strive as soon as the civil warwas over to weid this broad countrytogetlaar, is lt any wonder that afternwhile the rai.k and tile should fallInto^ line and <ry, "My countrymen.know one another and you will loveone another?"
